what's the reaction to the nra's proposal at the capitol there? >> not just the capitol, but i think pretty much nationwide a lot of people looked at it and said, whoa. you know, more guns is not the solution to this. now, mind you, what the nra is proposing and what it's trying to put into place is a program that is, you know, voluntary. they wouldn't force schools to do anything. the nr a said it could voluntees and et cetera, et cetera. the idea that gun control was not spoken of in the nra's first reaction, i think, struck some people as wrong. so there definitely was a lot of blow-back about it. what's the nra trying to do? it's trying to change the conversation. they think the debate should be about safe schools as opposed to guns, and obviously they're the gun lobby so you can understand that. that's what they were doing, and i mean, they got a lot of fierce pushback by some of the folks on capitol hill and some in the country. >> certainly a lot of response from lawmakers. any indication that any of them will get on board with the nra's pr
